Bury Holmes

Bury Holmes is a small tidal island at the northern end of Lenngenith. There is less rock at low water than at Mumbles but still provides plenty of opportunity for rock fishing. On the seaward side of the island fine surf conditions caan be found, which can be good for bass. Enjoyable but, don’t forget that it is tidal and you could be stuck there for hours if not prepared and alert. Never try to swim or wade to the mainland should you become stranded, the current is far too powerful even for very strong swimmers. It is reckoned that some of the healthiest and cleanest bass are to be found along the whole of Rhossili Bay. Dabs, plaice, flounders, turbot and brill are the other likely species to be hooked.
